danceWipcoop & beyond
#WIPCOOP 2023From Gravity to Grace is an exploration of Krump – an energetic and expressive dance form in which raw and repressed emotions find expression in a powerful and nonviolent way. Anna Karenina delves into the substantive and dance technical aspects and explores what Krumping means to her The connection between the earthly and the heavenly is central in an attempt to understand her own roots, to convey, to touch a higher reality. Through krumping and contemporary dance, she explores the intersections of her Filipino roots and Western lifestyle.
From Gravity to Grace is a story about intensity and emotionality, about all that is initiated from a deep emotional source, about the body as a carrier of emotions and experiences.
An attempt to bring out what is buried, repressed or lost. Anna Karenina Lambrechts is a dancer from Leuven.
